The gnats are back =/ I've searched what I could and I've read that fungus gnats don't like fresh live sphagnum as a breeding ground, but what about dried LFS? I'd gotten rid of an infestation about a month ago by repotting all of my utrics from peat:sand to dried/live LFS. My trays have...

I saw 1mm long larvae in my Utric. should I be concerned ? Are the bladders of my Utric big enough to devouor the larvae ? I'm new to CPs. thanks for any info.

I should have learned to not mess with success...right now a lot of my plants seem to be taking a turn for the worse. A couple weeks ago I decided to make room for a new order by splitting up all the plants I had in my 15g and using the 20 long as well. I ordered several potted plants from a...

First let me apologize for the quality of the pictures. They are taken with my n900 since I do not own a camera. To compromise I tried to take shots from different angles to help see the problem better. The issue: The portion of the leave with tentacles on some of the leaves has turned brown...

Hi all. i was looking on the ICPS website growing guides and came across this "...They are growing in pure peat with a 1 cm mulch of sand. The sand helps cut down on cyanobacteria and fungus gnats. " Has anyone tried the sand as mulch method for their dews or other plants? It makes "sense on...

So, last fall, as I was getting ready to mulch my dormant outdoor CPs for the winter, I found several VFT seedlings in amongst the LFS in the pot, which was a very pleasant surprise for me, as I thought that I had collected all of the seed... I thought it might be fun to try my hand at growing...

This is a smaller, single plant. It's got six leaves, ATM, and a flower spike coming up. When received it was bright green, whitish tentacles, red tips. Through no fault of my own, this plant caught fungus gnats (multiple) on every leaf. It then sent out a flower spike and started turning...

I just top watered one of my VFT pots that has been showing some yellow leaves lately and slowed growth all of a sudden and as some of the water pooled around the bottom of the pot in a previously dry saucer I noticed that small peat debris in the water are slightly wiggling around. After a bit...

just a copy and paste from another forum for future ref... Hello, This Heliamphora disease is caused by a phytopathogenic fungus (which I was able to identify during my molecular studies of Heliamphora by chance), which infects the vascular tissue of the centre of the plant, and can kill a...

I lost a lot of my temperate collection to fungus gnat larvae and root rot this last winter. One plant I lost was a Oreophila with 26" pitchers. I've never experienced such decimation before, and I don't want to experience it again. I've cleaned my grow area, removed all the old pots full of...

Ok so i have had this plant its medium size to almost vinning, it has two growth points, I have not had the best of luck with the plant. spent over 50$ on it and When i first got it it had rust fungus or something simular, not only was there some spots on the bottom it was also on top of leaf...

Hey guys, I'm not sure, but I think I might have a fungus gnat problem :-)) Luckily for me they are considered a delicacy by pings. Pinguicula 'Sethos' Pinguicula 'Pirouette' Pinguicula agnata red leaf

I live pretty far up north and temps are still way too cold to bring temperate plants outside, but I checked on them just the other day and they're ALL awake... The ones that didn't wake up much earlier and are now dead from fungus gnats that must have over wintered with them, lack of light, and...

hey everyone im using kiwi sphagnum moss it is newzeland stuff im mixing it with perlite and i keep getting this white fungas stuff i want the medium for my venus fly traps how can i improve this the white fungus stuff is annoying i also tried it with bird of paradise yet "the white stuff" still...

Well, so far so good! I've given the plant in question a benomyl bath twice now - I'm not telling anyone to do this, just volunteering information - and there still is some mold on the dead pitted areas, but nothing like earlier. The hibernaculum are beginning to open up, all of them - and the...

I have a small group of Sarracenia growing outside in trays. Anyway, long story short, there seems to be some sort of green looking fungus growing in the potting mix (LFS and Canadian Spag moss). The plants in the pots effected seem to be rotting and dying off. I live in Western Australia; it's...

I went to soak some orchid bark that I've had for a year and a half in a bag. I noticed some white-ish and greyish spots on some of the pieces and was wondering if it's a type of fungus maybe growing, or what. Maybe it's normal. It might have had spots when it was brand new; I don't remember...

When feeding a bug to my Nep today, I noticed some spots on the leaves. And then when taking pictures, I noticed some light grey stuff on the soil. I noticed a small amount before and might have sprayed it with a sulfur-based fungicide, I can't remember for sure. But I saw a lot more today...
